Can I quickly and easily reverse the direction of the drill ? Is there a switch for this? How is it done?

NO. if you are asking because you want to free a bit which has become bound, you must turn off the machine and either grasp the chuck to reverse the direction by hand, or release the chuck from the bit and grasp the bit with some pliers; preferably on your workbench.

No, this unit is not made to be bi-directional. However, once you turn it off, it spins down pretty quick.

You could attach a small drill with a on off switch and that would work just fine. I would use a block and a clamp so the drill doesn't move.

Yes sir, this drill is reversible. As far as driving screws, the drill will do fine, but it doesn't have a clutch that can be set. Just be careful.

As I look at my drill I only see it spinning in one direction, and there is no 'reverse' button.....just a hi and lo speed.

No real "switch" per se, you rotate the battery compartment door a small amount and that is the off position, if you turn it too far, then the compartment opens. Poor design IMVHO. There are small markings on the body of the tool to indicate this.

Yes it is reversible. Comes in a soft case. Drill is very rugged and powerful.

I agree with your conclusion. I tried it in both directions by just putting the drive in a vice. It functions for torque settings in the clockwise direction. Reversing the ratchet for drive in the counter clockwise direction would not activate the torque function in that direction. I don't really see a need for using in the bolt removal direction unless you have left hand bolts to deal with.

The drill is chuckless. Simply hold the end and allow the drill to tighten. Put it in reverse to remove bits. Best cordless drill I ever had. I has tremendous torque.

Rotate the back of the tool clockwise or counterclockwise as needed to tighten or loosen the bolts. Do not use this set in any heavy duty scenario. OK around the house, though.

Yes. It is very well designed and I am really happy with it. Simple to change from forward to reverse, and a cinch to swap out drill bits or driver heads. Really pleased with this purchase!

I use a drill-driver in reverse, with a lower clutch setting. Added penetrating oil (Liquid Wrench), and let the drill driver "hammer-away"...... I have removed many screws in this manner. Good Luck

Try to click on and off switch on the front of the drill or take off and then put back the bit.that might help.if not I'm afraid you got to return it;)

You just hold on to keyless chuck tightly with your hand, put drill in forward or reverse and squeeze trigger lightly to open or close keyless chuck and insert or remove drill bit. Reverse procedure as necessary.

The drill does have forward and reverse, but I do believe drill bits are designed to drill in the forward motion. Their may be specialty bits that will drill in reverse, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Yes, this drill is totally reversible. And, it does a very nice job of going at any speed that you desire. From a crawl to very high speed--either direction. Plus, the switch for direction is very understandable. Get one and enjoy!! ---- Al R. ( It does come with only a few bits, so you might have to buy a few at the hardware store. My sister also told me that this Bosch weighs only half as much as her drill. )

Yes - that is one of the things that makes this drill so great. I purchased one of those things that lets you click (or whatever) to change bits and sizes of screw heads without adjusting the chuck. Good luck Jeffrey -- Rob England

It has a variable speed reverse. No drill will actually drill in reverse. It is strong and has a good high speed for drilling. Used it with a wire brush attachment today.
